For dresses made according to an individual cut it is necessary to know not only your size, but also to take all measurements correctly.
Before taking measurements, tie the waist with an elastic band, the elastic band should be at the narrowest point of the waist – this is important!
Girth above the chest
The centimeter tape should run horizontally along the line of the shoulder blades, touching the upper edge of the posterior corners of the armpits, then along the armpits, in front – above the mammary glands.
Chest circumference
The measurement is taken at the most prominent points of the chest.
Torso girth under the chest
It is measured horizontally just below the breast line (along the line of the elastic band of the bra).
Waist circumference
It is measured horizontally just below the breast line (along the line of the elastic band of the bra).
Hip girth
It is measured by the most prominent points of the buttocks.
Chest width
It is measured horizontally above the base of the mammary glands between the verticals of the anterior corners of the armpits.
Back width
It is measured horizontally along the shoulder blades between the posterior corners of the armpits.
The length of the front in the center
It is measured vertically from the jugular fossa to the waistline.
Chest height
It is measured from the line of the shoulder seam, at the base of the neck to the most prominent point of the breast.
The length of the back in the center
It is measured from the 7th cervical vertebra to the waist in the center of the spine.
Armhole girth
Raise your arm parallel to the floor and wrap a centimeter tape around the armpit through the extreme point of the shoulder slope. Lower your hand and make sure that the tape is positioned strictly vertically and take the measure.
Wrist circumference
It is measured by the protruding points of the wrist joint.
Sleeve length
The long sleeve is removed from the extreme point of the shoulder to the wrist along the arm slightly bent at the elbow. If your sleeve is 3/4 or short: from the extreme point of the shoulder to the point where the sleeve is supposed to end.
